| Location | Cornwall |
Surrounding the Cornish town of St Austell and its neighbouring villages is a landscape well known for its clay tips and pits, created by the 250 year old clay mining industry. This striking and dramatic scenery, visible from distances of many miles, has been made more accessible by the development of trails for walking, cycling and horse riding.
Cornwall's miles of scenic clay trails were first opened in March 2005 and new trails have continued to be made available, enabling visitors to enjoy this unique area of Cornwall. Be among the first to discover these quiet pathways and enjoy the beauty and sense of peace they offer.
The surface of the trails are mainly gravel, easy for walking and
cycling and most are suitable for horse riding. Trails and pathways
can also be used by electric 'mobility' scooters, making beautiful
areas of Cornwall previously inaccessible, available to a wider
group of outdoor enthusiasts. If you are using a mobility scooter
you will need to have someone with you in some areas, as there are
a few heavy gates to open on parts of the trails.
